we were introduced to a wonderful tomato and watermelon salad at the local pig barbecue. very tasty, never would have thought of it.

 

Meat tastes of umami and fat. From long training, human taste sensors recognize protein and dense calories, and here they are. If one is off hunting/gathering and have just this for some days, it will do.

I suspect all pleasing texture connotations of meat are associative, not fundamental. But I've been wrong before

Umami is also accessible in veganesque ways. Just increase surface area of soybeans and admit long-known bacteria. It is not a pure province of things with legs or fins. 'Bacon' from eggplant and soya can be very good, I read. My one attempt lacked something. Nitrites? In any case, just cooking bacon itself is a surer success, and drained fat should surely find its way into a biscuit later.

Pigs, with perhaps substantial intellects, have made big mistakes. Deliciousness. Amenable to close quartering wherein they don't eat less, but lay on more fat. Taboos by two great world religions have not dulled the market. Would be pure speculation that they planned this, choosing brief happy lives for so many more of their gang. Last day is a pisser (having seen them go down). Being reservoirs for human diseases is a modern twist. Did I mention delicious?

Cannot imagine throwing energy at removing water from (95% water) watermelons. They are good at what they do, just as one would expect from fruits offering cheap rewards to seed-dispersing animals. Humans play that game but in a unique way. First time I saw inside a seedless watermelon hybrid I roared "this is a sin against nature!"

But that's just me.

Instead, go to a watermelon patch (a righteous one with seeds) near harvest time and eat of it at high ambient temperature. There find great joy and perhaps insight into how rodents and birds are part of 'the deal'.

How very few plants and animals have joined human enterprise seems fascinating. Poorly crafted efforts may get more attention than they deserve.

 

Also if you've never had good babaganoush, please make an effort.
